Detailed information on the procedure for issuing a visa, namely: a complete list of documents, deadline for receipt, amount of the consular fee, must be clarified at the consular office of the Russian Federation or on their official website.
The consul has the right to refuse to issue a visa even without giving reasons. Our organization provides assistance in obtaining an invitation from the Russian side and is not responsible in case of visa refusal.
A foreign citizen must leave the territory of the Russian Federation before the expiration date of the visa. Single or double entry visas become invalid after the foreign citizen has exhausted the corresponding number of border crossings (number of entries). A multiple-entry visa gives the right to an unlimited number of border crossings, but a foreigner cannot exceed the permissible period of stay in the Russian Federation - in total no more than 90 calendar days out of every 180 during the year.
